Abstract

A method, apparatus, computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions are disclosed for processing volumetric image data. According to the method, 3-dimensional data points are collected. A plurality of 2-dimensional image maps is obtained from the 3-dimensional data points. At least one of the plurality of 2D image maps is extracted to form at least one image frame. A frame gallery is created from the at least one image frame.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method for processing volumetric image data comprising:
obtaining a plurality of 2-dimensional image maps from 3-dimensional data points;
extracting at least one of the plurality of 2-dimensional image maps to form a plurality of image frames; and
creating a frame gallery from the plurality of image frames including a radically different frame that is radically different from preceding and following frames based on a value of importance,
wherein the val…
